With a growing sense of app fatigue on the horizon, it seems a perfect solution for mobile users who are somewhat interested, but are too busy or don’t care enough to waste precious time and storage space downloading a full app. Assuming it’s cost-effective for the app developer to include the code, it seems like a great solution.

With app usage trending lower than web usage, it hardly makes sense for many businesses to invest the money, time, and effort into developing and maintaining a mobile app. So where does Google’s Instant Apps fit in?
